The Pakistan cricket team toured New Zealand from December 2010 till February 2011 to play two Tests, three Twenty20s (T20) and six One Day Internationals (ODIs). Three tests were initially planned but as the 2011 Cricket World Cup was held from February to April, one test was dropped and one ODI and the three T20s were added.
New Zealand bowler Tim Southee took five wickets in eight balls, including a hat-trick. He became the first New Zealander to take a five wicket haul in an T20I match.
New Zealand bowler Chris Martin took his 500th wicket in first-class cricket, with the dismissal of Tanvir Ahmed.
Daniel Vettori's first innings score of 110 was his sixth century in Test cricket. Pakistan's wicket keeper, Adnan Akmal, took six catches in the first innings.
